    Default Zip-up Sleeping bag Liner

    Does anyone know if there is such a thing as a zip-up sleeping bag liner rather than the sack type? If there is, who makes them? Thanks.

    That one from Amazon is 11.5 oz and made with Polyester.
    I could be wrong but polyester on the trail is possibly not the best solution to those that have not lost the sense of smell.

    I have a Cocoon silk liner at 4.7 oz. Bought it after washing my sleeping after the southern half of the AT and saw how grimey it had gotten. Used it on a week long section and didn’t like having to shimmy into it; also felt like it was constricting my legs. It was a PITA and something else to manage in the sleeping bag. I’m going to get my wife to open about half the seam length and put Velcro tabs to close it. Give it another try and see if I like it.

    Perhaps consider snaps or another closure system rather than Velcro. I can see the hook portion snagging the liner as well as your sleeping attire.

    True, I’m just anti zipper because it’s guarenteed to snag.
